Return of Giant Majin
Directed by Kenji Misumi
Produced by Daiei Film
A feudal-era kaiju revenge tale where a vengeful stone giant emerges to topple a tyrant, blending supernatural justice with spectacle.
The tyrannical Lord Danjo Mikoshiba covets the rich, fertile lands surrounding Lake Yakumo. During a memorial ceremony for the late Chigusa lord, Mikoshiba launches an attack, overthrowing the honorable Lord Juro. Just when all seems lost, Daimajin rises from Lake Yakumo to settle a score of his own.
